Last year - 10. This year -7.

Number of LSU players declaring for the NFL draft. I know one thing that indicates is that we recruit STUDS and develop them enough to set them up well for the next level. However, I can't help wondering how we stack up to the rest of the SEC powerhouses when it comes to key players leaving for the draft early. Also makes me sad to think of what these teams COULD be if we just get the right talent on both offense and defense to stay at the same time.
